steps

With a keyhole saw, cut a hole in bottom of pumpkin; scoop out insides with a plaster scraper. Photocopy or download and print a window template in desired size. For "stones" cut slits in curved sections so template lies flat. Tape to pumpkin.

Trace by poking holes with an awl; remove template. Saw out center of window. Carve around window edges with a linoleum cutter.
